How To Discover Your Ideal Internet Community
By Ian Vanagas
A community exists that is ideal for you. How do you discover it?
Many of us are trapped in communities not ideal for us. We don’t get the most out of our time there but don’t know the other options. We are jealous of people who find their ideal spots. They have created connections, grown their knowledge, and improved how their time is spent. You can be like them through discovery.

Well, not surprisingly, @joinClubhouse did not respond beyond an initial acknowledgment. They’ve blown past the 45 day deadline to give me access to the personal data they have about me. I’ll be filing a complaint w/ the Cal AG since they’re not complying with CCPA. https://t.co/z7YaNXDTRD
